EASTERN EVENTS.
The New York Democratic
State Convention.
NEEDED REFORMS PROPOSED.
Frightful Railroad Accident in
Tennessee-The Passengers
Narrow Escape.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SARATOGA, September 27.-The sum-
mer visitors have all flown and the
event of the day for everybody was
the opening session of the Democratic
State Convention, viii III began at
noon. The famous watering place
presented striking contrast to two
weeks ago, when the Labor Conven-
ton was held. Then the crowd seemed
to be more or less poverty-stricken.
To-day, however, the opposite was the
truth. Silk hats, cigars and gold
watches were everywhere, and evil
dence of money enough and willing
ness to spend were apparent on all
hands. To-day there were a dozen
bands of music and the streets were
gay with splendid marching organiza-
tions.
George Rines, of Rochester, was
unanimously chosen temporary chair
man of the convention. His illusions
to Hill and Cleveland were greeted
with applause.
EQUABLE TAXATION RECOMMENDED.
Resolutions were adopted favoring
the readjustment of the assessment
and taxation laws so that all property
shall ratably share in the support OF
the Government, and thereby relieve
farming and kindred pursuits of the
disproportionate burthens imposed
under the present laws.

Dueling Between Women Il
France

Dueling among women threatens to
come into vogue in Paris, and the old
practice of demolishing chignons,
tearing off hats or bonnets, and leav-
ing the imprint of nails in faces when
quarrels are to be adjusted, will soon
probably be discarded for more sum-
mary means of obtaining satisfaction.
Yesterday two we'll dressed women
came face to face with each other in
the Rue Laurance Savart, and by
ISLANDERS were surprised to hear them
suddenly begin to objurgate one an
other in vociferous manner, worthy
of the Nine. Angots of the Central
Market. Public interest in the spec
tacle was, however, more deeply
aroused when one of the scolds pulled
a revolver from some mysterious part
of her bodice and leveled it at her
adversary. The adversary fumbled
about for her weapon of defense, but
before she had time to present it, a
bullet whistled near her ears, and she
tainted away in manner hardly
worthy of an amazon. The assailant,
a Nine. Celestine, was seized by the
on-lookers and disarmed, while her
unlucky rival was carried lnsensible,
but uninjured, to an adjacent pharma-
ceutical establishment. = London

Electric Lights.

Apropos of the talk Of the Olive
Heights Company erecting masts and
furnishing Anaheim with light from
their water power, Mr.. r. Leudke
thinks it may not be successfully
done, and that it would be expensive,
though far preferable to the coal oil
lamps now in use--that is, when semi
occasionally they are used. He be-
lieves the fully-dsveloped electric
light to be the light of the future, and
says that in New York each light now
costs but twenty-five cents night for
all night but in Antwerp, Mr.. Leudke
says, they cost but two centimes an
hour, and a centime is one-fifth of a
cent, making good light pretty cheap,
in the quaint old Belgian city, but no
cheaper than it should be here.

which has brought great CONSERVATION

to the congregation. On each Sunday
after a birthday the person who has
thus shufIied off another year marches
to the front and drops as many PEN
MES in the missionary box as ne Is

embarrassing this is to many. They
resort to all sorts of tricks to avoid
the truth. Sometimes q

everybody knows she is not hundred

MIRACULOUSLY SAVED.
A Railroad Train Hurled from a
Trestle Bridge.

JACKSON, Tenn, September 81
One of the worst wrecks which ever
occurred on the Mobile and Ohio
Railway happened about two miles
south of this place this morning. An
entire passenger train, except the en-
gine, was hurled from trestle while
running forty.tive miles an hour,
and over thirty persons were
injured, though by almost a miracle
none were killed. The coaches were
thrown forty feet from the track, and
some turned completely over. The
scene was almost indescribable, women
and children all screaming for help
and release from the closed cars. All
were, however, rescued, and medical
attendance given. OF the injured,
four or five may die. Ten others are
in a serious condition.

evening, in a basement in Chinatown,
Mongolian named Lee Gin was
stabbed twice by a countryman named
Hong All Lung. Captain Karcher, at
police headquarters, was Informed Of
the stabbing by crowd of excited
Chinese who ran pell-mell into the
station. The wounded Chinaman was
taken to the receiving hospital, where
on examination it was found that he
had received wounds that will in all
probability prove fatal. He was
stabbed in the bowels and left lung.
He said the assassin without warning
drew pccket-knife and slashed him
because he did not have twenty-five
cents to pay debt he owed. The
murderer is still at large.

Meeting of the state Prison DE
reCtOrSs

SAN Francisco, September PA
meeting of the State Board of Prison
Directors was held at San Quentin to-
day, President Boggs and Directors
Sonntag and Wilkins present. In
regard to bids for the new iu's
works it was decided, after a long dis
cussion, to open and read the bids,
but to delay action until the meeting
on October 9th, when a full
board would be present. The
bids were then opened. Cap
tain Thomas reported to the board
that it was evident from the bids that
the appropriation of $3.50, 900 would
not be sufficient to build the addition
to the jute works and furnish neces-
sary machinery. He believed, how
ever. that by careful. figuring on ma
chinery the amount could be
reduced some $1,000, Further consid-
Grafton of bids was then postponed.

A DEFECTIVE SERVICE.
Narrow Escape of n Vessel in
Consequence.

SAN Francisco, September 27.-The
steam schooner Whitesboro narrowly
escaped being wrecked near Point
Bonita last night. The fog was very
thick, and Captain Lindley in chang
ing her course lost his bearings, as the
fog horn at the Point was not in opera
ton, and the vessel struck on the
rocks on the westerly side of the
Point. She came off, however, with
out much difficulty and proceeded as
far north as Point Reyes, when it was
discovered that there were two feet OF
water in the hold. The vessel was
at once headed for San Francisco, re-
turning here about four o'clock this
morning. Besides the crew there were
one or two passengers aboard. The
loss to the vessel and cargo is esti-
mated at $1,000.

Eggs Fifty Gents a Dozen

dealer at Faneuil Hall Market, Boston, and receiv-
ed for the forty-three cents per dozen. The
dealer said to him, 'next week viii pay you forty
five cents, and before Christmas fifty cents dozen
What l. true of Boston Is n "A measure true of
every market for eggs. The next eight weeks will
be the season of highest prices. Therefore work
your hens now for all they can do. We have no
doubt but that, for the want of proper ingredients
in their food more than onehalf of the hens in the
county are now idle, when eggs will sell for f1ty
cents per dozen. 1t is pure folly wonder, spend
time and money or experiment to find out WHY your
hens do not lay. You better by far profit by the
experience of others, and make them lay during
December and January. The following sworn state
ment shows that, the quickest and way to do
and increase the egg product Turing these months
